Wal Mart and Environmental Sustainability

About Wal - Mart The Wal - Mart store opened in Rogers, Arkansas in 1962, and it has worked on improving the lives of all customers. Sam Walton's exemplary leadership and myriad employees will focus on helping their customers and the community "save money and live better". American companies with billions of dollars aim to offer a discount shopping store. Walton and his wife, Helen, began to acquire the idea of ​​other forms of new products, feared that a fierce discount chain would occur with anxiety feelings.

Wal-Mart has social responsibility for its actions and offers thousands of jobs, low prices, high value, and services to all faithful customers. Sam Walton began taking Wal - Mart into environmental awareness. Wal-Mart also began to create shelf labels using "100% Recycled Paper" as society is responsible for environmental consciousness (Carroll and Buchholtz). Meanwhile, when Wal-Mart and its merchants came to town and they no longer can become providers of basic consumer goods and services, American small businessmen and communities feel anxiety and fear. The community complained about the low price Wal-Mart offered to its customers, and Wal-Mart visited a small shop and took over. And it worked for the city center business.

Environmental issues are important to Walmart. A starter store opened in Lawrence Kansas for environmental protection. This store has a center for environmental education and recycling (Slezak, 1993). Wal-Mart also uses low-cost themes for its facilities. Every office including the head office is affordable and easy to install. In order to save energy, temperature control is connected to the headquarters via a computer. Through these plans, Wal-Mart expressed concern for the community.
